Imagine
teaching children while reinforcing Baha'i themes and
values with creative and fun crafts! The recently
published book "Bahá'í Crafts for Children"
does exactly that, and helps add learning value by
providing crafts, quotes from the Bahá'í
Writings, and discussion starter questions.
The book
includes over 70 Crafts, reproducible pages, coloring
pages, step-by-step instructions and much more in themes
including Prayer, Bahá'í History and Holy Days. The
book is soft cover and consists of 120 pages.
Teachers of
children's classes recognize the growing need for a
teacher's guidebook of arts and crafts to integrate into
children's programs for Bahá'í classes, day camps,
home schooling, conventions, summer and winter schools.
Before this
book, we could not find a comprehensive teacher's
guidebook that combines (on each page) motivational
questions and an introduction for the teacher or parent
to use, an illustration of the art or craft, a Bahá'í
quotation related to each project, a materials list to
assemble beforehand, templates, patterns and explicit
directions for creating the art or craft.
"Baha'i
Crafts for Children" appeals to children and youth
of all ages and teachers are free to vary the level of
difficulty according to the skills of their children.
